My bad. I meant people can't go to those schools on natural talent alone. You gotta study a little..even the slightest goes a long way in year 6. And as for the social awkward thing, i intentionally left the word "most" in there because at these schools the "normal" ones actually happen to be a...

Oatlands is good, but only for year 12. It's way too classy for any other formal. Plus there's no view or anything, and it's in the middle of nowhere, but it's really old and prestigious i guess. The room will be a little awkward though since it's L shaped, and the stage is at one end. Yeah...

Re: Which subject is more "prestigious" - English Extension 2 or Mathematics Extensio I'll agree with you on this one. I personally don't consider a 4U'er to be of some 'higher calibre' than anyone else. In fact, some (such as myself) may see it as foolish as it forces you to concentrate on...

Yeah, basically nerdy Asian kids. They make the cool Asian kids look bad, but when they try to be "cool" they end up (more often than not) just looking like, as the name suggests Try-Hards. I guess you can't teach being awesome

Re: Which subject is more "prestigious" - English Extension 2 or Mathematics Extensio It's impressive to us, but to Malaysian/Singaporean kids this is actually the Norm. In the senior years of high school they do University level Mathematics. As for Prestige, i reckon Ext. 2. English by far...

Yeah people study for the Selective School's test. You basically can't make school's like Ruse, Sydney Boys/Girls, North Sydney Boys/Girls, Baulko on Natural talent. You can't "Naturally" know how to do more difficult maths, you've gotta learn and study it a little at least. You know how...

Scaling shouldn't be a priority AT ALL. Scaling is just there to entice people into doing harder subjects/ discourage from doing "softer" ones. In reality getting over 40 is harder in 4U maths than it is to get over 95 in business studies. So don't worry about scaling. The rankings aswell are...

Well if there's one thing i learnt from Soulja Boy's shitty music is to "Superman Dat Ho" And there's your answer > don't spit or swallow. Just let him release it on your back, then fall asleep, and have the sheets stick to you until you find yourself a bedsheet cape.

Teachers generally don't spend that much time on a one to one basis with the students. The only kids that will speak out to them are the kids that are doing exceptionally well, arse kissers, or those who are disruptive in class. As I mentioned, the teachers will vote for the ones doing well...

Well, why not just rickroll the school and play "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley? I know it's really lame, but it will piss a lot of people off, and after all that's what the point of "Rickrolling" is. Plus, in retrospect, it might be funny since your last memory will be of this "time"...

Almost. Joeys is closer than Kings, but they have compulsary week boarding. I'm not sure if i'd like it. I guess i'd get used to it, but yeah, since i don't go there i have to judge by what i've seen from the outside, and the pupils i've met.

For Exams the Uni-Ball Jetstream owns all in terms of speed, but i personally don't use them since it seems unnecessary, because we can only write as fast as we can think, and the good ole' Pilot BPS-GP and Papermates should be able to keep up. The Jetstream does run out a lot faster (maybe...

I go to Sydney Boys High, and I reckon ANY of the GPS Private schools (not counting The Armidale School) would absolutely rip the rest in Sydney, no competition. Within the GPS, i dunno for sure, but i.m.o the order of schools i'd like to go to are 1. Grammar 2. Newington 3. Scots 4. Iggies 5...

For tennis put emphasis on the "may" in "may do average." I'm sure if Mitch Kelly had played Tennis for the last 3 years we'd have been doing a lot better. Instead of his State Tennis skills, he chose to become the biggest Rower in GPS.

I wouldn't mind going to Ruse, but it definitely wouldn't be at the top of my list. For me it'd be a pain going to Ruse seeing as it'd take 1.5 - 2 Hours to get to school (I live in the East), and there's no way i'm doing that. If i lived towards the hills district/ westie areas, without a...

At Sydney Boys High, the Prefects list is generally pretty good. The only problem with it is it's ALL up to the teachers' say. The teachers tend to vote for good people, but not necessarily the ones the students want. 3/4 of kids who get it are liked by students, 1/4 is disliked. Although the...

High is EASILY the best Selective School when it comes to sport. Although everyone seems to be boasting about how good one or two players are, what you don't seem to realise is that EVERY single sport High competes in is a TEAM sport. Even singles Tennis and Chess are played as part of a team...
